restored to the status existing at
the outbreak of the war. Talks on
an exchange of prisoners should

withdrawn in the shortest possible
time."
But they said nothing about whether
that included the "Chinese
volunteers."
The most controversial of the
Red demands seemed to be the
halting of all firing as a prelude to
an armistice. Joy told the Communists Tuesday that "hostilities
will continue" until agreement is
reached on terms of an armistice
and until an armistice commission
is set up and operating.
